where even the candle refuses to enter.

There is a kind of grace that does not comfort you. It warns you.

Not every broken thing is ending.
Some are only opening,
making room for the self to return in another shape.

@House0fSyn like being haunted beautifully.

[Atlas @Atlasm28m]

There is a kind of peace that asks for nothing except your presence.

@she_reverie @beautyispain88 Maybe peace is just the place where the soul no longer has to explain itself.

[Atlas @Atlasm28m]
